Grand Kia - What to Know About the 2026 Kia Sorento

The 2026 Kia Sorento arrives with a confident stance, advanced technology, and a family-friendly cabin that makes everyday drives feel effortless. Whether your week includes school drop-offs, mountain commutes, or weekend escapes, this midsize SUV blends comfort and capability with thoughtful features that simplify life. At Grand Kia, we see the new Sorento as a smart fit for drivers who want third-row versatility, available all-wheel traction, and a refined interior without sacrificing value or style.

Design details reinforce Sorento’s adventurous spirit. The available X-Pro configuration elevates the look with a new blackout theme, all-terrain tires, and unique exterior fascias. Under the hood, an available 281-hp turbocharged engine delivers confident passing power, while the available all-wheel drive with Terrain Mode helps you adapt as conditions change. Add in the available 8.2 inches of ground clearance and a towing capacity of up to 4,500 pounds when properly equipped, and the 2026 Sorento proves ready for both pavement and trail duty.

• Powertrain options: The available 281-hp turbocharged engine provides confident acceleration for merging, passing, and weekend hauling.

Inside, Sorento balances upscale craftsmanship with daily usability. Available heated and ventilated front seats, available heated second-row seats, and an available heated steering wheel help take the edge off winter mornings. Available acoustic laminated front glass helps hush road noise, while the available panoramic sunroof brings light and openness to every row. When it is time to pack up, fold the second and third rows to unlock generous cargo space for home projects, sports gear, or luggage.

Smart tech plays a starring role. The available Dual Panoramic Displays place navigation, media, and vehicle settings within easy reach, while wireless smartphone integration reduces cord clutter. For tight city parking or tight trailheads, available 360-degree camera views and available side parking sensors help you maneuver with confidence. And when traffic gets hectic, available Highway Driving Assist 2 can help with lane centering and speed spacing on compatible roads—making long stretches feel less demanding.

1. Define your priorities: Decide whether you value maximum passenger capacity, off-pavement capability, or premium tech features most.
2. Compare trims and packages: Review available configurations, including X-Pro, to align styling and equipment with your goals.
3. Test for fit: Sit in all three rows, check child-seat access, and confirm cargo depth with strollers, coolers, or skis.
4. Consider accessories: Roof racks, bike carriers, and cargo organizers can tailor the Sorento to weekend adventures.
5. Plan long-term ownership: Ask about maintenance schedules, warranty coverage, and service conveniences to keep ownership simple.
